Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me through everything while I have written this blog, I originally did plan to have it longer than it was but due to unforeseen circumstances, like my accident, I'm unable to do some of the things I had planned since I cannot recall how I planned on getting them there.

Sadly, yes the last post was the last one. For now I have finished with the lives that followed Taylor, Jake and Dom.

I do have other ideas in mind but for now my focus is on my health while writing on the sidelines. I will update you all as to if I have any plans to start another blog or not.

Thank you to everyone who has read and comment

What The Future Holds

“Do you really have to continue doing that?” Jakes voice rang through the room, clearly annoyed.

I pulled away from Dom with a smile on my face but Dom had a smirk, his grip on my neck tightened forcing another kiss out of me before letting me turn around and face Jake.

“One would think after this long you would get used to seeing us kiss?” Dom questioned as he wrapped an arm around my waist.

“Yes because seeing my best mate kiss my ex-girlfriend isn’t exactly the best thing in the world. Oh wait it even gets better, that said ex-friend is now your wife.” Jake rolled his eyes and I couldn’t help but laugh.

Dom and I had only been married a couple of weeks, we had only returned from the honeymoon yesterday and we had invited all of our friends over for dinner.

I felt Dom press his lips against the top of my head as Jake said the word ‘wife’. I still can’t get over hearing the word wife, I was thrilled the day Dom proposed and the happiest I’ve ever been the day I walked down the aisle and became his wife.

“Just wait Jake, one day she will be pregnant with my child.” Dom spoke and I watched as Jake’s eyes narrowed in annoyance.

Jake and Dom may be passed everything that happened two years ago when Jake and I first broke up, everything came into the light of day. Jake and Dom stopped talking for various reason for various lengths of time.

Even after Dom and I had become public, Jake pulled away slightly. He stated he had to get used to the idea of seeing us together, he claimed he was fine with the whole thing as he just wanted us to be happy but as for actually seeing us together, well it made him uncomfortable to begin with.

Now those two just like to make jokes about the whole thing, even if Jake seemed angry about the topic of conversation we all knew he wasn’t truly angry. We all knew that the moment we tell Jake that I am pregnant, he will be thrilled and incredibly happy for the both of us.

“Only if you name him after me.” Jake finally responded and I laughed softly.

“But Jake is such a bad name for a girl…” I grinned at him, he shook his head before turning around and leaving.

“We wouldn’t really name our son after would we?” Dom questioned and I turned around, noticing the worried look on his face.

I placed my hand on his cheek and smiled at him, catching the glimmer from both my engagement and wedding rings.

“Tay?” he questioned and when I looked at him he had a smirk on his face, he knew exactly why I was distracted.

“But they are so pretty.” I cooed and he laughed.

“I’m glad that still to this day you love it,” he kissed me softly before resting his forehead against mine. “Now our future son, will he be seriously named Jake?”

“Maybe a middle name, think about it. If Jake and I never dated, would we have stayed in each other’s lives? We stopped talking after we broke up all those years ago and we didn’t start talking until Jake and I happened, us right now is thanks to him.”

“Middle name it is…” Dom grumbled but I just continued to smile.

“As long as I’m godmother.” I instantly pulled away from Dom at the sound of Emily’s voice and ran over to hug her.

“I’ll leave you too alone.” Dom spoke before he left Emily and I alone in the kitchen.

“How are things with you and Nate?” I questioned and Emily grinned at me.

I still couldn’t believe that my best friend, the commitment phobe, was still with Nate. I was still in shock and awe that they were happy as ever together and Emily wasn’t even planning on leaving him anytime soon, she loved him and I was incredibly happy for her.

“We’re moving in together.”

“Oh Em, I’m so happy for you.” I spoke as my eyes welled up, she looked at me for a moment before picking up her bag.

“That reminds me, I brought what you asked of me…”

“Now?”

“Now or never.”

“But…” I was terrified and had no idea what would happen.

“No buts, I saw Dom just then. The thought of you two having child excites him, come on. Lets find out if you are pregnant and you can tell him.”

Emily grabbed my hand and pulled me alone to the bathroom so I could take the pregnancy test and find out if I really am pregnant.

“Babe are you alright?” Dom questioned and I snapped out of my daze staring into the mirror.

Our friends had left for the night and we had both come up to get ready for bed, I know I had been quieter than usual and I knew that Dom had picked up on it.

“No I have something to tell you…”

“If you’re cheating on me, tell me now what I’m doing wrong and I can make the sex more enjoyable for you.” He spoke with a smirk on his face as he stepped closer into me.

This was something that had come up as a joke more than once, I laughed a little but it was obvious he didn’t believe me completely as he raised an eyebrow.

“What’s going on Tay?”

“I’m pregnant.” I stated and a massive grin broke out on his face.

“We’re having a baby?”

“Yes Dom, we’re having a baby.” I repeated, I couldn’t believe the grin became bigger before he kissed me.

So maybe today competes with the day he proposed and the day we got married.

It Could All End Here

Here I was standing in the middle of a park looking like a complete idiot, I would change from pacing up and down the path to sitting on the bench waiting to see if Dom would turn up.

I shouldn’t have done it this way, I should have just done it somewhere simple and easy like I did with Jake.

But it’s Dom, Dom’s always been different and I needed to do something different because I wanted us to be different.

“Tay?” I heard Dom’s quiet voice and I jumped before turning around and found him standing there, he was looking a little worried. Hell I was as well.

Just because I knew what I wanted didn’t mean I would get what I wanted.

After I told Jake we were better off as friends, we spent more time trying to figure out what to do with the house and its furniture. It was last week when I finally spoke to Jake about Dom, told him what I wanted and how I was worried it wouldn’t work out.

Dom had been pulling away recently and I was terrified I was losing, terrified that I had taken too long to make up my god damn mind about something like this. It was in those moments I realised how I truly felt and I knew I had to tell him.

It was also then that Jake realised what was in front of him the whole time, it was Dom I was seeing behind his back. He was angry to begin with, didn’t question it at all mainly because he asked all his questions when I first told him about the affair. I was worried it had ruined what potential friendship we were working on but then I turned up at his house today and all he said was that he wasn’t mad, he understood and we continued packing up the house.

I didn’t realise how many of my possessions I had left there, I suppose I packed the bare essentials when I left in a hurry for Emily’s and I barely came back to the house. When Jake and I did go on dates it was never at the house, always elsewhere. I think he thought it would ruin things if we were at the house that ruined everything in the first place.

“I was worried you wouldn’t come,” I spoke softly before shivering, not even bothering to grab a jacket before I left in a rush earlier not thinking twice about the weather.

“Here, have my jacket.” Dom made quick work of shrugging out of his jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders, was it a good sign that his hands continued to rest of my shoulders while we stood like this.

“Thank you for coming,” he removed his hands and I frowned as he quickly shoved them into the pockets of his pants.

“Yes well I didn’t really have a choice considering you didn’t give any hint as to what you were going to tell me did you now?” he was being short with me and I was terrified I had ruined my chances with him.

What if he had found someone else and moved on?

“I didn’t want to put it in writing, I wanted to say it in person.” I mumbled while looking away from him.

“Ah, I see. I will just go then,” I instantly snapped my gaze up to face him to try and work out what he was on about but he had his mask up.

“What why?” I stuttered, not remembering the last time I was completely nervous like this.

“Well you made up your mind right, you seemed so happy packing up your life earlier and that letter seemed like a goodbye. That’s what you want right? You want neither of us, it’s why you told Jake about us.” He snapped at me and I lost it.

“Hold up a god damn minute! I didn’t tell Jake about us, he freaking confronted me about it and I had no choice. He worked it out, he even called himself a loser for not realising it, not realising how my moods changed depending on if you were out of town or dating some other girl.” I snapped at him in return and his face softened.

“I’m sorry alright, I was just shocked when Jake said something about it earlier.” He went to cup my face but I jerked out of his grasp.

“But yet you still believed I went behind your back in the first place, what the hell Dom. When have I ever done something to you to make you believe I would betray your trust like that?”

“Tay…” he stepped closer to me and I stood my ground, having no idea what was going to happen next. “What am I doing here, what do you want?” he whispered now standing directly in front of me.

“You’ve done nothing but accuse me of things I haven’t done nor want, maybe this was a mistake.” I shook my head before turning with the idea of leaving but he gripped my arm to prevent me from walking away.

“No, no more walking away. I won’t let it happen, I let you walk away all those years again but I can’t let you go again. What am I doing here Tay?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to accuse you of anything. I’m terrified you’re going to walk away and not come back again.” there was pain etched on his face and I hated that.

“I want you Dom, I chose you. I was terrified you had given up because you were pulling away from me. I thought us coming here were it all started would be a good way to start again.” I gave him a smile and he shook his head before cupping my face.

“You’re actually choosing me?” I nodded in response and he grinned before kissing me, “I was pulling away because I was afraid I was getting in too deep. I didn’t want to get hurt in the end if you chose Jake because you did not long ago because you thought it was the right thing to do until you turned up on my doorstep in tears.”

“And I hate that I hurt you like that.”

“I know, it’s fine. Don’t stress over,” he softly ran one of his thumbs over my cheek before smiling at me. “As for where it all begun, wouldn’t it technically be that bar we met at?” he smirked at me and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“Everything happens at that stupid bar.” I grumbled in response causing him to laugh good naturedly at me.

I don’t know why we always went to the same bar when we wanted something low key, it wasn’t like the city we lived wasn’t short on bars or clubs. It was just something we always did.

“But I much prefer this park now Tay,” he spoke quietly before pressing his lips against mine and I ran my fingers through his hair, gripping it tightly.

“I love you Tay,” his voice was low and hoarse when he spoke after pulling away, I don’t think he expected a response because my next sentence shocked him.

“I love you too Dom…”

Is This My Future (Dom's POV)

I turned up at Jake’s house having no idea what he wanted from me, we haven’t really spoken in a week considering he’s been MIA.

I let myself in like I always did when I was invited around, it was always Taylor’s open door policy that so many had adapted and the only time people knocked was when the front door was locked.

What I was met by pure and utter shock, there practically no furniture in here. There was boxes everywhere throughout the house, what the hell was I walking into with Jake?

“Dom! There you are mate, how you been?” Jake’s booming voice shocked me when he walked into the hallway carrying a box that had Taylor’s name written on it, in fact when I looked around the boxes all had either Jake or Taylor’s name written on them as well as what was housed in said box.

“I think right now you might be of concern for me,” I raised an eyebrow at him as I placed my hands in my pockets.

“Me, why me? I’m absolutely perfect,” he grinned at me.

“Really then why is there no furniture and everything seems to be in boxes with either yours or Tay’s name on it?” he placed the box on the ground and shrugged at me.

“Are you going to help or what?” he questioned, was this why I was here. To help him pack up the house? I was surprised he wasn’t burning Taylor’s stuff, there was only one reason as to why he would be doing this and that was because Taylor had finally made up her mind.

“Depends do I have to make sure you aren’t going to throw your suicidal self off the balcony?” he glared at me before flipping me off.

“Like I would allow him to do that, I’m not that much of self-centred bitch am I?” I heard Taylor’s voice before she came around the corner with a smirk on her face.

Now I was completely and utterly confused as to what was going on here, she flashed me a smile before she threw some bags on top of the boxes before turning to face Jake.

“I have to go Em needs my help with something, I’ll come back later.” She kissed his cheek before walking my way. “This is for you,” she handed me a letter before walking out the front door.

“What the hell am I missing?” I questioned once I snapped out of my daze.

“Oh we’re selling the house but first we need to clear it out, the realtor would prefer if we left furniture in here but some of this stuff belonged to Tay’s parents and she doesn’t want it to get damaged,” Jake spoke like it was nothing and I ended up having to trail after him like a lost puppy.

“What’s going on?”

“Read what Tay gave you, it will explain everything. I actually have to go meet a client, see you round mate.” He clapped me on the shoulder before heading upstairs and it wasn’t long until I heard the shower running.

I walked into what was once their living room glad to see there was still a couch, I sat down and pulled out the letter.

Dom,

I can imagine just how confused you are by what you walked into but Jake and I decided that we are better as friends, our relationship for who knows how long has been more friendly then romantic. Neither of us were happy and were too stubborn or had too much pride to voice our opinions on that matter considering we were both cheating for three years.

Jake and I are selling the house because neither of us want to live in it anymore, neither of us can do it because there are too many memories there for both of us making it too hard to live there without each other. Mostly on my part was what happened in our bedroom, Jake and I are staying friends, neither of us want to lose each other.

I’ve made my decision, I know I’ve taken way too long to tell either one of you what I want and what makes me happy so I can understand if you are no longer interested. I hate that I’ve strung you both along for as long as I did and I’m sorry if it hurt you in the end because that was never my intention.

If you are interested in what I have to say, come meet me tonight.

I knew that address, it was the place we went to on our first date all those years ago. A night when we were both incredibly nervous on how it would go but once we had some alcohol we had opened up and weren’t as nervous.

I placed my head in my hands, why did the letter also sound like a freaking goodbye.

“You alright mate?” Jake’s voice startled me and I looked up to see him already showered and dressed in one of his suits.

“I have to tell you something….” I had no idea what Taylor was telling me tonight, but I had to clear the air with Jake. I needed to tell him the truth, I knew I was the reason why Taylor never completely told him the truth when they broke up, it was because I didn’t want to lose my best friend.

“If it’s about you and Taylor having sex behind my back for three years don’t bother,” my mouth fell opened in shock. There was no anger about it at all, he waved me off.

“I figured it out and asked Taylor, we break up and then it’s the two of us fighting for her attention, I thought maybe there wasn’t exactly another guy. You rarely dated anyone else and the moments you did I found Taylor going on more runs than usual, her mood was worse off and it doesn’t take a genius to put it all together.” Jake spoke leaning against the archway.

“You aren’t mad?”

“Well I was a week ago but then I thought about it, I did a dog thing to my best mate by taking home the girl he loved all those years ago. I only deserve to have him screwing her behind my back but you made her happy Dom, it’s all I want for Taylor now. I didn’t love her like you do, I can’t hold that against you. I should have realised what was going on in front of my own eyes and Taylor and I should have broken up three years ago when we discovered that neither one wasn’t happy because in the end three people were hurt out of our relationship. We have been best friends for years, you are family and so is Taylor. Yes I’m annoyed you were both going behind my back but if you both are happy out of this then I’m happy…” he looked at his watch. “I really should go and you really should go hear Tay out, don’t be mad at her for taking her time.”

With that, Jake walked out leaving me alone in the house and my thoughts. I had voiced my concerns with Jake a couple of weeks back, I was beginning to worry that Taylor didn’t want anything to do with either of us.

I was worried that she was stringing us along in hopes of not losing either one of us, he just told me I was being an idiot.

But now seeing the letter and not having any hint as to what Tay wanted, I was worried about going tonight.

I knew she wouldn’t put in writing that she didn’t want me, she would say it to my face and that was worried me the most. I would be walking away from that spot either alone or with her and it’s the alone part that terrified me.
